Eggs are a delightful and versatile food essential, but perfecting them can prove tricky. They serve as an excellent quick breakfast option, a superb addition to salads, or even a companion
for evening meals - however, for some, acing the egg-cooking is still a mystery. The advent of air fryers has revolutionised home cooking. These devices streamline the process by letting you
toss in a few ingredients, press a button, and voilà - you're left with fewer utensils to wash. Plus, it spares you some time to do other things, whether that’s rustling up side
dishes or simply lounging on the settee catching up on your favourite shows. Cooking may not be everyone's cup of tea, but don't fret, Michelin-trained chef Poppy O'Toole is
here to assist with her sure-fire egg cooking tips, catering to those who prefer the traditional art of poaching or the ease of air fryer enthusiasts keen on setting and forgetting their
eggs. If an air fryer is more your speed, Poppy reveals an effortless approach that promises minimal fuss yet delivers a beautifully runny centre. It’s such a hassle-free concoction and so
tasty, it'll make you question why you've not tried it sooner – and it pairs splendidly with a myriad of meals, reports the Mirror. For an air-fryer 'boiled' egg, Poppy
suggested taking a room temperature egg and programming the air fryer "for 15 minutes at 130 degrees". Should you hanker for a divinely drippy yolk, just dial back the cooking time
to 10 minutes to achieve a softer finish. Poppy noted that poaching can often go awry, leading to eggs becoming a scrambled mess unless removed at just the right moment. "For poached
eggs, add a splash of white wine vinegar to the water and use a really fresh, fridge-cold egg," Poppy suggested. In one Reddit 'Ask Culinary' thread, a user posed the
question: Why is vinegar beneficial when poaching eggs? One reply said: "The acid helps the whites set faster so they don't spread into the water." Cooking is ultimately a
learning journey, and with a touch of practice, you'll be crafting the finest eggs boasting perfect, delectable runny yolks that will enhance any meal, whether it be breakfast, lunch or
dinner. IF YOU WANT IDEAS AND INSPIRATION TO PLAN YOUR NEXT UK ADVENTURE PLUS SELECTED OFFERS AND COMPETITIONS, SIGN UP FOR OUR 2CHILL WEEKLY NEWSLETTER HERE
